Disc Problems

Disc Problems

While a compressed, herniated, or ruptured disc is a complicated problem, it is an issue that a patient should consider chiropractic for before opting for surgery. Some disc problems need surgery but many don’t. In the latter cases, we can do a flexion distraction and with a vacuum phenomenon work on the disc to get it back into its normal position. If we can’t get that problem straight within a couple of weeks, we will make appropriate referrals, such as to a neurosurgeon to do something more invasive.
